outlook for the Next election.

LONDON, Oct. addressing a depu-
tation at Hawardep Mr.. Gladstone said
that though the liberals were defeated
at the last election the signs for the nexs
election We're different. 1t was to the
best interest of all parties to have the
Irish question settled. 1t would have
been a source of unfeigned joy to him
if the tories had relieved the
liberals of their task by pre-
senting Ireland with the measure
of justice to which she was entitled. The
whole conduct of the liberal u~nionists had
been dictated by animosity against Ire.
land. 1t was difficult to describe the
liberal unionists while they supported
a government of c~oercion-not coercion
to suppress crime but to suppress free
dom of speech, of public assembly and
even the freedom of the press.

Tho Cora Lee Case.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Oct. 5.-Attorn-

in the famous Cora Lee case, which will
be on trial ut Springfield, Mo-, in a few

was a porter in the Laclede hotel, in this
city, when the party composed of George
K. Graham, Mrs. Malloy n Miss Lee
stopped there July 20, 1886, and regis
tered as Graham and wife and Mrs. Nal
10y. After Graham was killed Dave
Fisher saw his picture, and recognized it
as the man, Graham, who stopped at the
hotel at the time. The object of the de,
tense m having the deposition taken was
to impeach Dayid's veracity. Several
witnesses were examined and testimony
taken which will tend to prove that
Fishers testimony is not worthy of con.
sideration. Mrs. Emma Molloy was pres

this view. There's not much inducement
To spend time or money In the effort to

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 5.-Rev. ID. e. Ev-

regretted his ministerial profession when
he was routed out of a warm bed at 1
O'Clock in the morning to make one a
loving pair, who were fearful that an
irrate parent might arrive on the next

morning. The Clergyman was Weakened
from a pleasant sleep by q jingiing and
rattling of the door-bell, which threat
ened to come down from its hanginps.
Hurrying on his clothes, Mr.. Evans went
to the front door and on opening it was
confronted by a young man, well dressed,
but somewhat excited, who asked:
Can o perform q marriage cere-
mony at this hourf"
Somewhat surprised, Mr.. Evans re-
piled; Yes, can do so il everything is

time Mr.. Evans aroused his wife and a
young lady who was visiting at the

Mr.. Evans then returned to the parlor
and questioned thec couple until he was
satisfied there was NJ legal impeachment
to their marriage. They were then or
dered to stand up and in the .dimly
lighted room with twn sleeny India,
looking on, the couple were made man
and wife. Their names, as given to Mr..
Evans were Miss Mary R Stewart, of

he was a clerk in the Atlas National

grievances of various and divers natures.
The general executive board have been
making desperate efforts to solidify the
opposition In order to present a united
front. Their programme is to declare the
now constitution null and void and this
would necessitate an election of officers
at the present session, and while Pow.
derby would be continued at the head,
the general executive board would ex-
perience 3 general shaking up and several
new faces would appear in the general
executive board. The opposition claims
ut q late hour that enough votes have
been promised to accomplish Its sims but
the detected looks of the leaders belle
their assertions, which moreover are
laughed to scorn by the supporters of the
present administration. 1t is pretty GER

PREMIER NoRouAy TALKS.
why He Is Not Succeeding with h
Manitoba Railway Project.

"AnitODa railway IToJecb.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. g.. Premier
Norquay, who has steadily refused to be
interviewed since he arrived here on his
way home from New York, consented to
talk to a reporter. He said there were
three causes why he did not float the Red
River railroad bonds. The first was
stringency of the money market. The
second was the malign influence exerted
by the Canadian Federal government and
the Canadian Pacific railway company,
who actually had their agents logging
my every movement and ~prejudicing the
minds OF the money-lenders against in
vesting in the railway. The third cause
was the outrageous reports sent to Ameri.
a newspapers by Canadian correspond
ents describing the state of the people of
Manitoba to be that of rebellion. l need
scarcely tell you that these newspaper
rigmaroles were and are absolutely foun-
%datienless. The Manitobans are law
abiding and %peaceable citizens and we
are building our railway quietly without
any bluster or noise, much less an appeal
to arms. But these newspaper reports
were alarming to tie money-lenders and
my mission failed, owing to the three
causes l have named. We can raise
more than half the capital required in
Manitoba and the city of Winnipeg alone
will buy $3.50, 600 worth of the bonds. ]
am also expecting financial aid from the
Northern Pacific railway company, which,
with $50, 600 already in hand and the
means at the disposal of my government,
will not only enable us to build the road,
but TO operate it.n
"WhaU is the sentiment of the people
in other Canadian provinces regarding
your railway ?"
Fully nine-tenths of them sympathize
with us in u struggle to obtain our
rights, and personal friends and sup.
| porters of the Premier of the Federal
Government, Sir John Macdonald, told
me when ! was in Toronto that they
wished us every success, and declared

syndicate"

One Mrn Fatally Hurt anil Hundreds
Frightened.
CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 5.-A serious nc.
cident occurred on the Walnut Hills ca
BILE road which injured several people.
one or two probably fatally. The night
before the cable was spliced in several
places and the grips worked badly all
day. The worst place was on Sixth
street between Main and Walnut. A
single car turned the corner of Sixth and
broadway very fast and the gripman lost
control of the grip, which became en-
tangled in the cable, and the car dashed
along Sixth. street, loaded with people
who had been spending the day on the
hills. After running a square several of
the passengers realized their peril and
jumped off. One of them, Louis Kolb.
who lives on Walnut Hills, was badly
hurt internally. A cable-train of two cars
was standing on Walnut street, when
the u~nmanageable car dashed rome the
corner.
1t was too late to exert a collision. and
the rear car crashed into the train, ditch
ing all three cars, The widest excite
ment ensued. Men and women were
piled up in a promiscuous heap. All
were extricated, and it was found thai
SIX had sustained injuries more or less
severe. A woman, a resident of Coying
ton, named Brochmiller had her leg
broken. Two or three women were Sc.
verely bruised, and a man whose name
could not be ascertained had his face and
hands scratched. The patrol service car.
ried the injured to the city hospital. II
is thought that Kolb will die. Strangely
enough, the cable was not much injured
and can be easily repaired.
AS coon as a message could be sent by
telephone to the driving station the cable
was stopped or other accidents might
have resulted. Two cars were ditched
on the road on Fourth and Sycamore
from the same cause. The grip would
not work, and the train being unman.
ageable was thrown off on a corner.
Several accidents have occurred on the
Walnut Hills cable roads lately, and ii is
claimed that the grips are defective. An
examination of the cable shows that the
strands of the wire became entangled in
the grips and caused the trouble. Mrs.
James H. Burnett, who was in n OF
the cars on Walnut treet, saw the wild
car coming and jumped out. Her knee.
cap was broken and she was hurt in
%terLnify.
